Almost there...

I gave up facebook for Lent and so far I haven't given in to temptation. With only 9 days until Easter, I really feel I am going to achieve this. It has been a very long time since I have been able to truly give something up for Lent and keep my promise to God.
I will have to say, at first, it wasn't easy. I was curious to see what was going on with everyone and when I was bored I really wanted to get on to waste time. I doubted I could do this, as I am week when it comes to the computer. I put my faith in God and never looked back. The urge passed and literally days / weeks passed without the thought of facebook. I now question if I really need this distraction in my life just to fill time. I honestly do enjoy talking people and keeping in touch, however, I could use this energy in a much different way.
I must have an addictive personality, because, once I start something I become consumed. I am glad Lent came, because, facebook was taking over my life. I know myself and if I return I will find myself back in the same pattern. I'm not sure what to do, however, if it was up to the girls they would want me to toss the computer in the trash for good. They both think I spend too much time on the computer in general, they're 4...so observant!
Never the less, no matter what I choose to do when Lent is over I am proud of the fact my faith was strong enough to help me get over a huge temptation and addiction in my life. It's minor, but, at least I know God is with me even thru the small things...imagine how much he is there in the big things!!!
Anyone else give anything up for Lent? How did you do?
